Hawaiian hard-charging heroine Keala Kennelly turned pro at age 17. Keala has never tried to fit the surfer-girl stereotype and has said, “People are either going to love me or hate me, but as long as I can be happy and comfortable with myself, that is all that really matters.” She won her first world tour event at Teahupoo in 2000 and eventually became the first woman to tow-in at the iconic slab. ‘KK’ travels the world in search of big wave adrenaline, while also DJ-ing, and occasionally acting on the big screen.
